  2. 1. Colonic pouch anastomosis after rectal excision for cancer

    Author : Olof Hallböök; Neil J. M. Mortensen; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : Total mesorectal excision; low anterior resection; colonic pouch; coloanal anastomosis; neorectum; quality of life; laser-Doppler flowmetry; gut peptides; anorectal physiology; MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : Anastomoses at the level of the pelvic floor will become increasingly more common in rectal cancer surgery when total mesorectal excision is used as a standard procedure to obtain local mdicality. A consequence of such low anastomoses is increased risk of healing disturbances and poor distal bowel function, The aim of this thesis was to focus on reconstruction after total mesorectal excision.

    Author : Mikael Machado; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Rectal cancer; specialisation; defunctioning stoma; pouch; side-to-end anastomosis; function; anorectal physiology;

    Abstract : The order of priorities in surgery for rectal cancer are firstly to achieve local control and cure from the disease, secondly to minimise perioperative discomfort and complications, and thirdly to obtain the best possible bowel function. Rectal tumours can be removed with local surgery but most common are abdominal procedures with or without a permanent or temporary stoma. READ MORE

    Abstract : Oral 111-Indium-DTPA colonic scintigraphy was used to assess segmental transit in 23 patients with slow transit constipation (STC) and 13 controls. The transit time did not differ between patients and controls in the right colon, whereas the patients had a consistent delay from the transverse colon and distally (P... READ MORE
